Mean age was 3.4\u2009years for the open group and 0.9\u2009years for the endoscopic group. Seventeen (51.5%) patients had a syndromic diagnosis, most commonly Opitz syndrome and Trisomy 21. Mean follow\u2010up was 33.6\u2009months. Thirteen (39.4%) patients had a previous repair attempt prior to repair at our institution. Twenty\u2010four (70.6%) patients had a tracheostomy prior to or at the time of surgical repair and 13 (38.2%) remain tracheostomy\u2010dependent. Nine patients (27.3%) required a revision cleft repair and four (12.1%) required two revisions. Thirty\u2010one patients had an intact repair at last follow\u2010up (93.9). Two patients died outside the hospital over a year after surgery. Preoperatively 13 of 17 patients with swallowing evaluations aspirated. After repair, 11 of 20 patients were deemed safe for all consistencies and seven were safe for thickened. Endoscopic approaches were performed during the last 2\u2009years of the study and had significantly lower operative time (354.4\u2009minutes vs. 171.5\u2009minutes).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Endoscopic and open approaches are effective for treatment of type III LTEC with 27.3% requiring revision and 93.9% of repairs intact at last follow\u2010up.
